Last three quizzes this week until I have my break.  This ones a bit of an experiment after looking at The BBC Sports Personality of the Year thread.  So basically name the winner for each year.  You obviously have clues.  I was pained all weekend until this morning whether or not to add male and female next to each category to make it easier and have decided to allow you that at the last minute.  Sorry if it makes it too easy..  And yes I know there are only two sexes to choose from!    Lots of points to gain, point for each.

To land at McCarran Airport, you'd need to be in a time machine. Changed its name to Harry Reid International Airport, 4 years ago this week. Apparrently, McCarran outed as a racist and anti semite, hence the name change.

Jim Keltner played drums although not officially a Wilbury.

18. Thanks Zico.
